Wigeons - 15
Gadwal - 17
Ring-necked - 5 (one male)
These are on an unnamed lake going out of town(Bryan) towards Hearne on Hwy
6 North. Follow Hwy 6 till you pass Sadberry Rd (on W side of Hwy),
continue a short ways to the convenience store on the right, turn in on
Lakeway Drive and drive around to the right side of the lake. NOT a good
place to stop, but best place to view lake. Lots of traffic, so beware,
esp on a Sat. (Google Maps has a smaller lake named Savoy-Gant Lake just
south of this lake.) Between Hearne and Bryan on Hwy 50, one or two
Northern Harriers, and several Red-tailed Hawks.
We have had a White-breasted Nuthatch here since June 30. Still here.
A few Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are still around. Some in our club had a
Rufous for a day -- and Brazos County has had an influx of immature
Red-headed and Pileated Woodpeckers in the area over the last few weeks.
A few photos here: - - - the ducks were very distant - - - The first 15
photos include the nuthatch, our FOS White-throated and Chipping Sparrows,
FOS N Flicker.
